Green Pet

Sam came home last week with her hands clasped together and was grinning like crazy. I let her go in the house first before i asked her what she had in her hand. I sat in front of my computer and continued looking at Harley parts that i am considering to buy for a cousin as a Christmas gift. Sam carefully laid the small thing on the sofa and called me "Mama, meet my pet!" ... and there sat a tiny grasshopper. She said she had three but gave some away to her friends .. hahaha! She stroked it carefully and asked for a container and asked me if i could feed it rice for dinner.

I explained to her in my most calm voice that the tiny thing has to be set free for it to live ... it only eats grass and is looking for it's family. So it was settled, since they will be going back to the garden tomorrow for a school program and promised she will return it tomorrow.

It was a cute thing though.
